Well I have a dilemma on my hands.  My amazon quick picks just put 10240 Red 5 in my box at 5% off.  I know its not a lot $189 vs $199 but it is a deal for a UCS which doesn't go on sale any more. But it has just been released and has a long life ahead.

 

I'm very tempted but its just not that good of a deal.

 

Thoughts?

If you don't pay sales tax in your state it's okay I guess. It's quite likely that in May (May the 4th) there will be another SW Lego promo which usually includes a minifig, which you could likely flip, plus you'll get points from lego, so it might be a slightly better deal then.

no sales tax on amazon for now.

Hmm. Tough choice. No sales tax does offer an advantage, but you could also purchase the set during the next double  VIP points promo that would be about $20 in points per set, plus there might be a promo that goes with it. $180+ promo or $189 with no sales tax. I am leaning toward waiting for double points from Lego.

ugg.. couldnt resist.. I bit.  maybe I will just build it. or buy another in May
